Instructions

Cauliflower crust (adapted from detoxinista)

  • Grate the cauliflower on a grater or use a food processor.
  • In a pot filled with boiling water add the cauliflower an let it boil for 5 min.
  • Drain the cauliflower in a strainer. Then wrap it up in a dishtowel and squeeze all the water out of the cauliflower, so you’ll end up with ‘dry’ cauliflower rice. In a bowl mix cauliflower rice with cream cheese, egg and salt and pepper.
  • Heat oven to 400 °F/200   °C.  Line a baking sheet and place 4 portions of cauliflower mix. Use your hands to form the crusts on the sheet, they should be about 1-1,5 cm (1/3 – 1/2 inch) thick. Bake the crusts for approximately 30-35 min, or until firm and golden.

Tomato sauce

  • In a skillet heat oil and add onion, saut © for a few minutes. Add garlic and stir a few times and then add the rest of the ingredients. Let it simmer for approximately 20 minutes, while stirring every few minutes. The tomato sauce should be semi thick and much of the excess fluid from the tomatoes should be gone.

Directions for finishing the pizzas

  • Add one heaping Tbsp of tomato sauce on each crust, spread it evenly.
  • Then add the various filling as you wish and top it of with a bit of grated cheese (don’t over do the cheese, since the cauliflower crust is already quite ‘cheesy’)
  • Bake the pizzas for approximately 10 min at 450   °F /225   °C until the cheese is golden.
  • Serve with fresh salad, basil leaves and olives on the side…so good enjoy!
